Weekly Sunday Morning Bible Study

9:00 am, Centennial Room.

We’re using “The New International Lesson Annual: 2009-2010” (Abingdon, May, 2009), which is available at online bookstores for about $15.  Although purchase of the book is not required, this is an amazing price for such a comprehensive text. 

The study is primarily co-facilitated by laity with pastoral support on a rotation basis.

Small Group Ministry (formerly Spiritual Life Committee) is an opportunity to participate in what we hope will become new Winnetka Congregational Church traditions!
Dine Around & Brunch Bunch

This is a great opportunity to get to know other WCC members in a casual, relaxed and social setting to make WCC a friendlier and more engaged community. Small groups of 8-10 members will share a meal and discuss a spiritual topic in a host’s home.

The program is very simple: One member volunteers to host and is responsible for the main course. Others sign up to attend and bring a portion of the meal. Our pastors will prepare a spiritual topic for the group to discuss.

For members of existing Spiritual Life Groups, these new small groups are an additional way for you to get to know others and expand your spiritual journey.

Interested? Sign up by sending an email to smallgroups@wcc-joinus.org. You can also call Jenny Gleichauf at 847-441-3400 x15 or use the sign up sheets in Tolman Fellowship Hall. Please let us know what dates you will attend and whether or not you want to be a host. We hope you will be able to participate and help make this a new WCC tradition!

Your Small Group Committee Chairs,
  Peggy Dyer      Sue Hartemayer      Christy Shellenbarger
